AFA08 is over. When it was announced, I was wasn’t that hyped up. Sure, another anime convention is good. My thinking is, there bounded to be cosplayers lurking around. Thats my objective. As time goes near. May’N is slated to be coming, another objective have been added to my AFA08 runs. Majority, it seem like a toy convention compared to a anime convention. I can conclude, Singaporean have not reach the level of "drive" that the Japanese had. I have not really taken much look at the booths except the toys counter, other than that, I was wondering around shooting cosplayers. Day 1 ended quickly with aniki concert. Despite, not knowing what he was singing. I could feel the vibes and mood throughout. "Tml May’N concert gonna rock big time"
Second day, was the main day. The concert. The whole day was a leg breaker. Little I know, I just happen to be at the moment where the VIP gates started opening. I got the first row VIP immediately after the Diamond holders. The distance between VIP and Diamond is like 2m!!? minus the autograph paper. But still not bad a location compare to others who watch my back instead. May’N singing was much better live than her recordings but the acoustic partly ruined it. The mood was high, but not as high as aniki’s.
The autograph session came as a shock but despite that it went off without much trouble. Still, a lot of debates have been going on for the autograph, but I am on neutral grounds. One thing that irks me is that, the 20 extra VIP -> Diamond holder have already been selected. Where is the transparency, and everyone I talk to in the VIP row was expecting a lucky draw.
It came down to the organiser not specifically clarifying whats and whats not to expect. The mood was tense during the autograph session and small disputes happened.
Overall, it ended up with me leaving the event with a bitter taste and 1400+ pictures to process………….
